Sorry, I meant that first you would see if the file extension is `.m`. Then you 
would do the #import/#inclue check.

That's fine if this is the intended design of Geany.

However, for new users to Geany, they will have to find where to make this 
change and change it. From a design perspective, this seems like a strange 
burden on users, where they need to delete a file association in the settings 
for their file association to work. This would be particularly troublesome if 
you're using both Matlab/Octave and Objective-C files. You'd be better off 
editing only your Objective-C files in one editor, and then only editing your 
Matlab/Octave files in another editor.

Either way, since I think I'm the first person to report this issue, I'm 
thinking that no one seems to use Linux (or Geany) for editing Objective-C 
files, so it probably doesn't matter, and this issue can be closed.
